Subtle vandalism will always be the hardest to spot. If it is
imagined that it might become a problem, then perhaps uploading a
change to anything which already existed could notify the last 1 or
2 people that amended that feature, as they are the most likely to
know what is correct or be in a position to double check if they
doubt what they did previously.

That still wouldn't handle addition of things that don't exist type
vandalism, but hopefully that would be a little easier to spot.
